Automated corruption analysis of service designs

摘要

Methods and arrangements for conducting corruption analysis of service designs. A service design is accepted. Corrupting factors within the service design are assessed, and a corruption susceptibility score is generated. An alternative service design is generated responsive to a corruption susceptibility score fulfilling predetermined criteria.

1. A method comprising:
utilizing at least one processor to execute computer code configured to perform the steps of: accepting a service design related to at least one human-provided service, wherein the service design is expressed formally as a business process workflow, and design elements based on a service ontology; automatically assessing human-related corrupting factors within the service design via consulting a corruption pattern database which stores pre-defined corruption patterns in structured format, and inspecting the service design for pre-defined corruption patterns from the database; automatically generating a corruption susceptibility score based on the assessed corrupting factors, the corruption susceptibility score indicating a level of human-related corruptibility in the service design; the corruption susceptibility score being a function of at least a quantitative component relating to verifiability of identification criteria; and automatically generating an alternative service design, wherein said generating is triggered based on a threshold corruption susceptibility score.
